[WCCF/Videocardz] Nvidia is prepping a new GK110 GPU - GTX Titan Ultra coming soon

[Cloudfire777]

GTX Titan Ultra is ready to launch. A full GK110 ready to make sure Nvidia have the fastest single GPU on the market.

Coming out 16/17th October.

The full blown GK110 Core optimized to gaming perfection is possible one of the most awaited chips of all time. Unlike the other current generation cores which suffer in Double Precision the GK110 core has the best of both worlds – heat output of current gen and double precision of Fermi. And of course not to mention that since the Titan is basically a slightly crippled Gk110 Core a full fledged GK110 core should return the figurative crown to Nvidia.

Titan Ultra will be based on Quadro K6000.

EDIT:

Nvidia will be launching Nvidia ATLAS on October 16/17th. It is GK180. It features 2880 cores instead of K20X with 2688 cores (GTX Titan), but will use the same power.

This could be our next GTX Titan Ultra ()

Looks like Nvidia have improved Kepler.

The GK180 is not a typo, this has nothing to do with GK108. In fact this is a GK110 derivative with 2880 CUDA cores on board. Of course I’m just assuming GK180 came from GK110, but you never know. According to the leaker this is just GK110 with few minor changes.
The GK180 looks like a more binned GK110 chip, since even though it has more CUDAs, higher bandwidth and higher floating point performance, it still consumes just 235W (245 SXM), which is exactly the same TDP as for K20X. Speaking of performance this card will be slightly faster than K20X. With a peak single precision computing performance at 4.0 TFLOPS it’s just few percent faster than K20X, but the 4.0 TFLOPS is just preliminary number, it can go higher if the clock would be set even further.
The TESLA K20 ATLAS would feature 12GB memory. It would also feature GPU Boost technology known form GeForce series, although it would only work under specific workloads (AMBER, ANSYS).

Boy nv rumors are sure starting to fly.
They must (or the fans) feel threatened. Hopefully they do release a full 580 successor but not if it's way overpriced. (>$600)

"According to certain sources the card whatever it is, is set to debut on the Motreal Gaming Event on 16th / 17th of October. The possibilities are either the Dual GTX 790 (doubtful), the much awaited GTA Titan Ultra or a lower end card then the aforementioned."

Who knows if they're releasing anything, and if it's bigger or smaller.

Btw, thread is labeled as fact although nothing's even known. Brilliant way to write might be.

 

[Silverforce11]

Saw it coming. Mature 28nm, lots of good dies, its gonna be used to make big $$.

Hopefully they have it voltage unlocked and then we can do a nice 290X vs Titan Ultra OC battle.

 

[HurleyBird]

Honestly, I'd be more surprised if Nvidia didn't release a Titan Ultra to try to counter AMD. They've had plenty of time to prepare.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Other rumours point to a 13~12SMX card though.

 

[Cloudfire777]

I wonder if they will go full retard and include the 12GB GDDR5 that comes with the K6000 :biggrin:

 

[ShintaiDK]

That site gets more and more desperate for clicks.

That site gets more and more desperate for clicks.

My favourite was when they photoshopped a GT200 die onto a GTX 480 PCB and released it as their 'exclusive Titan boardshot'

After that I wrote the site off for the pile of crap that it is.

ahah.. they actually pulled it from the original article.. But it's still floating around on the web

Sweclockers, which is a very reliable site wrote about the same yesterday

First and foremost, Geforce GTX 700 series complemented with lower priced models, but now say sources SweClockers that Nvidia also has a new video card based on the monster circuit GK110 coming.

Its quite obvious the source is the same. And the swedish text is simply a translation of the english.

So why do you doubt the source? Sweclockers is very reputable and have posted pre stuff like that a ton of times which turned out to be true.

It might be the rumored 770 ti.

The source is speculating and is basically throwing out all of the options.

Directly translated from Swedish to English by me:

"Sources known by Sweclockers tell that Nvidia will launch a new GK110 card"

Its their sources, not WCCFTech. Sweclockers posted the article way before WCCFTech. He probably got it from Sweclockers

 

[DarkKnightDude]

What's the pricing? 1200 USD?

 

[wand3r3r]

So, wherever it came from, it can be the 770 ti which has been rumored for a little while to be a cut down Titan/780. The point is that we don't know if it's an ultra.

 

[Teizo]

Imagine they will drop the price of the Titan and charge the regular Titan price for the the Ultra?

Don't see how they can command $1000 for Titan when the R9 290X is going for 30% less.

That actually sounds very plausible :thumbsup:

Lower the Titan price down to combat 290X, while introducing a Titan Ultra that will have the $999 price since its the greatest you can buy and people will buy it because of that.

So, wherever it came from, it can be the 770 ti which has been rumored for a little while to be a cut down Titan/780. The point is that we don't know if it's an ultra.

True, but for what reason? What is the purpose of 770 Ti? What place does it need to fill?

 

[Haserath]

Bring Titan down to $800. Replace with Titan Ultra. Drop the 780 to $600.

Ride wave of money.

 

[boxleitnerb]

The new card might be Tesla K40:

[Genx87]

Wouldn't surprise me. May also explain the price cuts at the middle of the month.

That said the next node cant come fast enough.

Titan was a money grab gimmick Nvidia was able to pull off because AMD had nothing in the same vicinity of performance. With Hawaii on the horizon, and it's performance rumored to be somewhere very close to Titan, this fully unlocked GK110 card better not come with a $1000 price tag or it will go down as an even bigger rip off than Titan was WITHOUT having the distinction of being in a class all by itself. It would be better for Nvidia's rep and better for consumers to just let Titan fade away for now, and come to market with a gtx785 gaming card with DP gimped like on the gtx780. The 7970 came out with disappointing perf/$ for a next gen flagship. The 680 barely improved on it at release. Titan was a once every 5 year opportunity, but the 780 only looked good when compared to Titan, and looked worse than the 7970 and 680 when compared to how much those respective cards were going for at 780's release.

A 2880 core GK110 @ 925mhz boost would bring nearly 30% theoretical increase in throughput and 7.0gbps vram would add 16.7% bandwidth, giving a fully unlocked GK110 card more than enough oomph to retain the performance crown. Just please don't stick to the $1000 price point. These flagship prices coming out consistently at $550 or higher are disheartening.

Well, it does say something when you see Titans on sale for $650 used. They may have paid 1g for them but they aren't really worth that I guess. The Titan should be a $650 card and the 780 should be a $500-$550. That would really attract a lot more buyers. I would prefer more profit through volume rather than the stuff sitting on the shelves IMO. Don't you agree?

 

[Teizo]

I personally, from Nvidia, based on their normal naming structure, view whatever card has the x80 nomenclature as the 'gaming' flagship. These cut down Quadro's are a bit different imho. For a while though people have wanted a Quadro that could play games as well as GeForce cards, so, given the price of Quadro's it is not surprising Titan GPU's are going to cost a pretty penny.

You do have a point though, especially since these cards are going to be marketed as gaming cards. I just view them as "money to burn cause I can't take it to the grave ultra enthusiast class" lol...

 

[Skott]

Wouldn't surprise me if it was true. nVidia has had a lot of time to think about AMD's new cards and how to counter them in power and pricing.
